Wrong country. IRAQ invaded Kuwait. Not Iran.

Primarily senior NCO's and Officers were Viet War vets, such as General's Schwarzkopf and Powell (Americal Division, Vietnam), etc. Possibly 1,000 men were Viet War vets.

odyssey much? XD same here buddy

Within hours of the invasion, Kuwaiti and US delegations requested a meeting of the UN Security Council, which passed Resolution 660, condemning the invasion and demanding a withdrawal of Iraqi troops. On August 3, the Arab League passed its own resolution . The resolution also called for a solution to the conflict from within the League, and warned against foreign intervention. On August 6, UN Resolution 661 placed economic sanctions on Iraq. Various peace proposals were floated, but none were agreed to. The United States insisted that the only acceptable terms for peace were Iraq's full, unconditional withdrawal from Kuwait. Iraq insisted that withdrawal from Kuwait must be

No Desert Storm was not against terrorism, Desert Storm was to evict the Iraqi Army from Kuwait and prevent them from seizing any other territories in the Middle East. The war on terrorism began after the attack on September 11th.

Iraqi pilots refused to fly against technologically and numerically superior coalition forces.

Am going to hazard an educated guess here: approx 2.5 Iraqi Dinars.

There were several foods that the ancient Persians consumed. Some included stews made with meat, rice, bread, goat, fruits, and lamb.

Yes, he retained his power. The two missions of the Gulf Coalition were to protect Saudi Arabia (Operation Desert Shield) and liberate Kuwait (Operation Desert Storm). Removing Hussein from the Iraqi presidency was never intended or attempted, although after the war some critics argued that it should have been done in 1991.

George H.W. Bush (also called Bush Senior or Bush 41)

George Bush's popularity fell after The Gulf War because the economy went into recession.

In late August of 1990, Reverend Jesse Jackson was allowed to visit Kuwait as a journalist, reporting conditions in the city. He and his camera crew stayed in the Kuwait International Hotel across the street from the US Embassy compound. At the time, the hotel was heavily occupied by the Iraqi military. This presented an opportunity to evacuate people with medical problems from the Embassy. Unfortunately, the Iraqis would not allow the Embassy to contact Jackson at the hotel. Bed sheets were draped across the grounds with the words, 'JESSE CALL BAR.' The complete message was to request that Jackson call Barbara Bodine, the Deputy Chief of Ministry on the phone.

We ran short of spray paint, but the plan worked anyway. After contacting Barbara, Reverend Jackson managed to convince the Iraqi Officials to allow several people with medical problems to join him on his return flight to America.

I was there. I watched Jesse and his crew walk down the street with dozens of guns pointed at them simply to help some folks in trouble. The man has guts. I met him at the Embassy gate, the Reverend said a lengthy prayer and he left with several people with medical problems as well some women and children. They all returned safely to the US the following day. J Rinehart

24 soldiers died in operation desert storm.

Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was a violation of national sovereignty, which most nations take seriously as a state-to-state crime meritorious of intervention.

I am Canadian, but I did a little research for you. I came across a good site called KUAM. There are letters posted from family to soldiers, and there is also help on this site. I am sure they will direct you as to where you can send your mail: www.kuam.com Good luck Marcy

if it never happened, lots of people would be alive,America would not have hatred on Iraq and there would be no history on the Persian Gulf War

I think it was not carved in stone, although it did set a precedent for future US-British involvement in that region. During Operation Desert Shield, General Schwarzkopf said his greatest concern was that we would win the war and lose the peace, and that has obviously come to pass. Personally, although I was no great fan of George Bush, he did fight in a real war, and I thought he handled the Gulf War about 96% successfully. Presidents Clinton, W. Bush, and Obama (none of whom ever fought in a real war) have handled the situation poorly.

All three involve a predominantly United States army invading a Middle Eastern country. Aside from that, these wars have little in common.

NATO's assignment is protection of the North Atlantic (Treaty Organization) countries.
